Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Now Corbyn is getting flak over his support for a charity which has released a film showing kids acting out knife attacks on Israeli soldiers.

Quite anti-Semetic (sic)!

Looks a bit like the sort of 'play' ISIS engage their children in.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

According to Corbyn there is no crisis in the Labour part but they'll have an inquiry into anti-Semitism anyway... :rolleyes:

Can anyone imagine this idiot actually running the country? :spin:

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Interesting read but I couldn't find the part about Corbyn saying there was no crisis in the Labour Party and they're just having the inquiry for the fun off it. Must have missed that bit :rolleyes:

Thanks, I wouldn't have been so confused if the comments refered to the posted link.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Corbyn's denial of a crisis in his party has been widely reported across the media so anyone who's 'confused' about that might want to pay a bit more attention. :D

It's odd how the usual rose tinted suspects are absent from this thread. They must be chuffed at how well Corbyn's running things and making the Tories look like a bunch of out of touch racists. :rofl:

Anyway, just for anyone else who's 'confused' about what's going on within what's supposed to be Her Majesty's Official Opposition:

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

For anyone who's interested Livingstone will be on LBC radio very shortly at 10.00am. Apparently there's already been a media scrum outside the radio station.

Extreme bad taste aside, I find it astonishing that someone as experienced as him would make such an extraordinary error of judgement at a time when all the focus ought to be on their opponents ahead of the local government elections. Maybe Red Ken would be better renamed Blue Ken as he's doing a great job for the Tories right now.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Apparently Ken has found supporters.

These being Nick Griffin, George Galloway and David Icke.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Well supporters like that can only enhance his image... :D

Ken's defence now seems to be that Benjamin Natanyahu said words to the same effect. Last time I checked Red Ken isn't Jewish so, whether it's true or not, it's a bit like him claiming using the 'N' word when referring to black people is OK because Obama used the term isn't it? :shrug:

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

I'm no fan of Hitler or indeed Ken, but this would seem to indicate that what he said had some truth to it.

Assuming it's accurate obviously, I do wish the sheeple of the UK would stop trying so hard to be professionally outraged at the slightest thing.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

It does seem certain countries can't be criticised without accusations of racism/antisemitism being made (crass though KLs comments were).

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

I'd also add that this is a problem entirely of Labour's own making in trying to get the Muslim bloc vote. I haven't yet met a single muslim man who hasn't yet started frothing at the mouth if you mention the word 'Jews'.


Oh well it takes the mind of the Conservative Euro civil war eh.

You need to get out more...

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

I'm still puzzled as to what exactly Livingstone was trying to say when he started the whole thing off?

Was he saying that because some Jews agreed to be deported in the 30s meant that Israel should be "deported" to the US in 2015?

Either way, his handling of the whole situation has been a textbook case of how not to act the week before an election.
